32 FERNS OF BORNEO. — 
Mr. Charles Hose is to be supplied for the Ferns that come from 
the Baram district of Sarawak, including Mt. Mulu, Mt. Dulit, 
Mt. Lambir, Niah, &c., and my own in all other instances. 
I have followed the arrangement in Hooker and Baker’s 
Synopsis Filicum, 2nd Edition, 1874. The Roman numerals refer 
to the Genus, and the Arabic to the Species ; and I have indicated 
the position of new Ferns, as Mr. Baker does, by giving them 
the number of the species nearest to them with the addition of 
an asterisk. 
It is much to be desired that the surviving author of the 
Synopsis may find it possible to bring out a new edition, as it 
has been long cut of print, and an enormous addition to the 
number of known Ferns has been made since its publication. 
The Supplement, ‘‘ Ferns discovered or described since 1874,” 
and subsequent lists of new discoveries published by Mr. Baker 
only in part supply this want, as they are hardly more than lists: 
for descriptions an immense number of publications have to be 
consulted, and these are seldom accessible to persons who live 
in the regions where novelties are to be found.
